If I'm in/near where I grew up? All the locals know where all the speedtraps are. Lately, the area's been infested with out-of-staters and yuppies from manhattan trying to get out of NYC and ruin my lovely woods. They don't know where the speedtraps are...but they'll learn the hard way, cause they whip around some crowded roads doin 50, caring not a whit about everyone else. It's because of jerk-offs like that that my town had to actually install it's first real traffic light. We're talking a several-hundred year old town here (One building was authenticated to 1779 or something like that). Anyway, end of rant about that.

It depends. Most all of the time I will warn people, but if I see someone around town that I have seen speeding before, and I mean going way above the speed limit, I won't warn them. This has actually happened a few times, usually young kids who need straigtening out, but supprisingly I've had a lot of people tailgate [i]really[/i]close and pass me on 30 mph neighborhood streets even though I was going right at the speed limit. I let these impatient people get pinched as they usually are turning off a main four lane road and taking a parallel residential street with kids out playing to try to avoid traffic. The town is on to this and has recently lowered the speed limit to 25 mph.

Using your "logic" then NASCAR or Formula 1 driver's would not be able to drive at 180+ MPH or KPH and talk on their headset's at the same time![ROFL2]

1) Most drivers aren't any where near as skilled as pro-race drivers. 2) Most races invovle a set course, with all the cars going in that same direction. There is no cross traffic.3) The people on the headsets are within sight of the race driver, and talking about the race, not refinancing the mortgage, a complicated business deal, or anything else that requires more than 2% of your brain power.

Don't be afraid of BDU pants, they are just pants after all.

Sheriff Taylor had access to rifles, why can't I? He worked in Mayberry......
